Ulfgar grew up in the woods not far to the east of Gladius. He was abandoned at birth, and found by an old human hermit. This hermit took him in and taught him the way of nature. Ulfgar listened intently, and tryed to learn as much as possible.

One day, before Ulfgar came to age as a adult, the hermit died. the hermit left everything he had to Ulfgar. Everything he had being the old near-collapsed cave, and a pile of leaves that was his bed. Or that's what Ulfgar thought. With his dying words, the hermit told Ulfgar of his most prized possesion. In a well hidden compartment on the foor of the cave, was a rotted out wood chest. As Ulfgar tried to lift the box out, the whole thing collapsed into a pile at the bottom of the hole.

Ufgar began digging out the rotted wood, when he began to see smething glimmering through the pile. As he cleared more wood, he realised that it was a tome. He reached in to pick up the tome, but as he touched it, he was pushed backward, by some force, emanating from the book. He hit the ground a couple feet away from the hole, where he lay unconsious.

In his sleeping state, a being came to him. This being, first looked like some kind of animal, but after a couple seconds it began to change its form into a different animal. this being then began to speak to him. It said, "Ulfgar, by coming into contact with this tome, you have been chosen to reieve the power off nature. This power, although small as of now, will eventually grow as you do. This though is not enough to watch over the forests. When I sense that you have grown enough, I will return to you and show you the location of the next tome. Good luck, I will be watching you." With that the form dissappeared, and Ulfgar returned to the consious world. The tome had disappeared.

Now with thi new found ability and no master to live with, Ulfgar thought it be a good time to head to the great city he had heard so much about, Gladius.

01-11-06, 05:03 PM [Introduction]

... and here are the chambers where our members rest themselves. Soon - we'll build another wing over there - to accommodate more of you.

Shakari showed around the newcomers of the Living Tree and all of the different locations. After she was just about done, out of the corner of Ulfgar's eye - he could see someone spying on them in the distance.

Hey who's that over there? Ulfgar asked curiously, almost to himself. Shakari barely caught a glimpse herself and yelled for the intruder to stop just as he broke into a run. Whatever his purpose is - it surely can't be in the best interests of preserving balance. Ulfgar - can you and Ilde track him down and bring him back for questioning?
shadowmaster
01-12-06, 12:22 AM Sure thing, anything for the safety of the guild and forest.

Ilde takes off, following the strangers trail. Ulfgar hurries to keep up.
TelinArtho
01-12-06, 10:46 AM Ulfgar - with his stocky legs - has a hard time keeping up, and soon he finds Ilda standing at the edge of a small precipice - overlooking a portion of the forest about 20ft below. Ilda looks disappointed that the intruder was not stopped before he jumped off the edge - but Ilda did not want to go further without Ulfgar.

Ilda would have no problem tracking the scent - but you need to get down 20ft first - you could try to jump down - go around or something different.
shadowmaster
01-12-06, 01:14 PM Ulfgars looks around for an easy way down.
What do I look like, a darned monkey.
He starts thinking about what it would be like to be a monkey.
Well, what do you think Ilde, yeah I'll just go with it.
Ulfgar decides the best strategy is to just jump off.
Urrgh, that one's going to hur, in a few minutes.
TelinArtho
01-12-06, 01:44 PM Just to interject for a moment, jumping down is a DC15 check and you have a -10 to your check (-1 str, -3 ACP, -6 speed) - so it is an auto-fail... Ilde should have little problem though.

Going around the obstacle will cost you about 10 minutes of time - but Ilde shouldn't have trouble recovering that with tracking anyway.

Just a thought...
shadowmaster
01-12-06, 02:00 PM Eh, sure, Ulfgar will just go around.

I am not made for this type of running. Hopefully he will woe up soon.

Ulfgar continues to follow Ilde.
TelinArtho
01-12-06, 06:21 PM Ulfgar and Ilde resume their pursuit after the much-too-long obstacle. Ilde spends a moment to sniff the air and look at the imprints on the ground visible only to his wolfen eyes and then starts off briskly in the direction the intruder went in. Ulfgar keeps up well enough, but it is clear to him that Ilde is holding back for him.

Soon, Ulfgar sees a clearing up ahead as he is led to the western part of the forest - and at the other side of the clearing he sees a man talking with 2 orcs. They are about 50ft away all told and the man is getting onto a horse - preparing to ride off. Ulfgar tries to duck (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=334290) behind a tree but instead of a tree, he finds himself wide in the open.

All he managed to catch of the conversation was the man saying:

... just make sure I have enough time to report to Galladi. We can't afford to miss this opportunity... Hey - there he is! Get him!

And the orcs quickly turn to engage the ill-hidden dwarf. Ilde growls at the obvious threatening manner of the orcs.

[Initiative (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=334291)]

The man takes off on his horse - galloping quickly beyond the sight because of the intervening trees.

Your action then Ilde (if Ilde is not given a command he will Defend if you are physically attacked)
shadowmaster
01-12-06, 08:13 PM Init=11 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=334393)
TelinArtho
01-12-06, 10:07 PM I already rolled your initiative - just looking for your action. They are 50ft away.
shadowmaster
01-13-06, 12:39 AM sorry

Ulfgar will move back outside of charge range, keeping Ilde with him. He will then summon a hippogrygh to appear 55' in front of where they are now.
TelinArtho
01-13-06, 10:02 AM Ulfgar and Ilde move back slightly - breaking behind some heavy brush to stop the orcs from charging in - then Ulfgar starts to summon a hippogryph. Ilde sets up defensively in front of Ulfgar - still growling.

The orcs close - separating and hoping to get the dwarf flanked - moving in a total of 40ft closer - drawing their swords.

Ulfgar finishes his summon and the hippogryph appears. Following its instructions - it dives towards one of the orcs and obliterates (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=334761) it against the ground.

Ilde maneuvers around to the other side of Ulfgar and the orc comes in - swinging at Ilde, cutting (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=334762) a deep gash (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=334763) in the wolf's pelt.

Ilde reflexively attacks the orc, and rips (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=334764) the orc's vocal chords out. The orc stands there, stunned for a moment before he topples over. Ilde stands triumphantly on the dying orc as if to say See I'm good at protecting you. The gash on her side looks serious - but he should be fine with a little healing.

Ulfgar 29/29 1/3 spells levels left
Ilde 9/26

Nicely done
shadowmaster
01-13-06, 01:33 PM Call Ilde back to me, giving her a good scratch ehind the ears, while casting the CLW spell on her.

Then send the Hippogrygh up in the air in the direction of the human, to see if it could spot him.
TelinArtho
01-13-06, 01:44 PM Alas - the human is a plothook for another day... (in truth he is galloping at full speed on a light warhorse - 300ft/round and he got first action. The fight only last two rounds - but by the time the hippogryph gets to the air and starts looking - it will disappear (and it has no way of communicating where the human went other than a general direction).

Anyway - go ahead and bring the information back to the Living Tree (as well as the plothook of who this Galladi character is and the fleeing human).
shadowmaster
01-13-06, 01:54 PM All, right. I just wanted to make sure that he didn't circle around on me, or something.

Great job there Ilde. You gave that ugly brute exactly what he needed.
Ulfgar is sitting there, giving Ilde much attention.

Then, Ulfgar and Ilde begin the long walk back to the tree.
